Are you a songwriter interested in composing for musical theatre, but the notation and chart-making process is holding you back? Do you play and write by ear, but have no idea how to translate the music in your mind to the page? Are you a musical theatre composer who wants to take your notation skills to the next level? “Core Composer Warm-Up” will prepare you to enter NMI’s Core programs with notation confidence. You’ll learn how to use GarageBand and Logic in conjunction with Finale or Sibelius to up your composer game and prepare written charts for musical theatre and beyond!
